Faith
Jackie Nickerson spent two and
a half years visiting Ireland ’s
Catholic religious orders.
She photographed the priests
and nuns who live in these communities,
along with architectural
details of entrances,
libraries, kitchens and dining
rooms. The Anglo-American
photographer combines photographic
research (“Farm”,
2002, was an interesting investigation
of the world of South
African farmers) with fashion
photography (working with
Armani, Trussardi, Burberry,
Shiseido and others), revealing
a hidden world with an almost
documentary-like honesty that
avoids suggesting an exploration
of the mysteries of faith.
The result of her work is entitled
“Faith” and is on show at
the Brancolini Grimaldi Gallery
in Rome from September 18.
